Nice climb, yet just a little trickier than the profile suggests. Several descents are accompanied by steeper pentes, which is vicious for the legs.

Mooie klim, die toch net iets lastiger is dan het profiel doet vermoeden. Verschillende afdalingen gaan gepaard met steilere pentes, wat voor de benen venijnig is.

Prachtige klim die voor elke klimmer wel te doen is. Eindigt in een skidorp met 4 gletsjers om je heen. Prachtig
